Lyrics

[Verse 1]

There's no saving anythin'

Now we're swallowing the shine of the sun

There's no saving anythin'

How we swallow the sun

[Chorus]

But I won't be no runaway

'Cause I won't run

No, I won't be no runaway

What makes you think I'm enjoying being led to the flood?

We got another thing coming undone

And it's taking us over

[Bridge]

We don't bleed when we don't fight

Go ahead, go ahead

Throw your arms in the air tonight

We don't bleed when we don't fight

Go ahead, go ahead

Lose our shirts in the fire tonight

What makes you think I'm enjoying being led to the flood?

We got another thing coming undone

[Chorus]

I won't be no runaway

'Cause I won't run

No, I won't be no runaway

'Cause I won't run

No, I won't be no runaway

What makes you think I'm enjoying being led to the flood?

We got another thing coming undone

And it's taking us over

[Bridge]

We don't bleed when we don't fight

Go ahead, go ahead

Throw your arms in the air tonight

We don't bleed when we don't fight

Go ahead, go ahead

Lose our shirts in the fire tonight

But what makes you think I'm enjoying being led to the flood?

We got another thing coming undone

We got another thing coming undone

And it's taking forever

[Verse 2]

I'll go braving everything

With you swallowing the shine of the sun

I'll go braving everything

Through the shine of the sun

[Chorus]

But I won't be no runaway

'Cause I won't run

No, I won't be no runaway

'Cause I won't run

No, I won't be no runaway

What makes you think I'm enjoying being led to the flood?

We got another thing coming undone

And it's taking us over

[Bridge]

We don't bleed when we don't fight

Go ahead, go ahead

Throw your arms in the air tonight

We don't bleed when we don't fight

Go ahead, go ahead

Lose our shirts in the fire tonight

What makes you think I'm enjoying being led to the flood?

We got another thing coming undone

We got another thing coming undone

And it's taking us over

And it's taking forever
